I don’t know. What Nordstrand says about their Big Split
“The Big Split tone is one of both precision and muscularity. Its nature is of a sort of hybrid P/J character, only it delineates a smoother, stronger, and richer tonal palette.”
Understand that the Big Break is the Big Split design but crafted in Indonesia instead of the US. I put two EMG P4 soapbars in my Stream and it did not have the same effect, it was a nice tone but did not have the punch. It was indeed smoother

Drool I’ve never seen a Warwick with a maple neck. This looks just gorgeous. Love the configuration too. If I ever buy a bass again it would be the Warwick or the pebble grey Sandberg which both are waaaaay above my budget 
My luthier said the Harley Benton Gotoh’s are really well built and a good starting point for modding. Not sure if they have a double P configuration?

Those do seem like awesome pickups. How much do they actually sound like P pickups?
The pickups are passive and it seems it will work on a previously passive instrument as well; how does it power the LED’s in that case?

I don’t have a comparison for the double, but the P J and humbucker modes all sound like their namesakes for sure.
There is a battery that powers the LED, same battery that powers the Glockenclang preamp.
I tend to like to use the bass in odd modes J/P, M/P, P/P, etc

Cool. I would probably trade the J mode for a phase switch for the humbuckers but otherwise sounds cool.
Most of the double P Warwicks are custom shops, but there is a off-the-shelf corvette limited edition.
Theres still a few of them in the shops.

The Matador sounds amazing, but I am out of wall space

Man if only the matador didn’t have a stingray-like metal control plate. It needs to lose either that or the pickguard.
Agree here.
It’s like it has a personality disorder.
